Some of the younger modellers may not know of this guy's work but he was quite instrumental in elevating this hobby away from a toy thing to more a pastime that tried to portray a more realistic and yet fun interpretation of history in miniature.

Remember his "HMS Victory" diorama with the gunners and the smoke ...
